I didn't see any firing cannons in the the catalog scans.

Ooops sorry! They are there on page 18 - three cannons wif centre-pins.

Ahhh.  I didn't know what to look for.  Comes from never having seen a
firing cannon.

If anyone else is as confused as I was, look in the muzzle of the
cannons.  You'll see a light-colored dot.  That's the centre-pin which
holds the 1x1 cylinders to shoot.

Oh, well.  Even if they are there, I'll bet it's just an artifact of the
pictures being taken in Europe, and Enfield not bothering to redo them
to leave out the non-NA elements.

Yeah, I thought of that after posting :) But then again - the Throw-Bots
seem to bring up the Lego-Projectile issue - so perhaps after further
lawyer-consulting they relented? Its not as if there aren't *lots* of
projectile childrens toys out there!

No, that would require a subsidiary corporation (LEGO NA) to reverse a
long-standing decision on a product safety issue.  Generally, that's not
a likely event.
